The United Auto Workers strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis could escalate at any time rather than on a weekly basis, the union's president said Friday.
The United Auto Workers strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis has entered a "new phase" as it hits its one-month point, the union's top leader said Friday. During his weekly address to members, UAW President Shawn Fain did not call for strikes at any additional plants but said further walkouts could come at any time, not just on Fridays as they had in the first few weeks of the strike.
They thought they figured out the so-called rules of the game, so we changed the rules, and now there's only one rule: pony up," Fain said of the Detroit automakers Friday. "We're at a point in this process where we are looking for one thing only — a deal, a tentative agreement." Fain said UAW leadership decided to strike at Ford's Kentucky plant Wednesday after it met with the company's negotiation team at its headquarters.
